The Fainting Warrior (Romans 7:24,25) - C.H. Spurgeon Sermon

A sermon delivered by C.H. Spurgeon, Lord's Day morning January 23rd 1859.
Many of us wish we had heard this teaching when we were new to the Christian faith. Spurgeon understood the lifelong battle we all have with sin, and here he explains it to us. Romans 7 has puzzled some believers, as they think it refers to Paul's old life before he was saved. Spurgeon recognized that Paul is simply describing a conflict that every true child of God must endure, even after salvation.
How sweet it is when the preacher describes the loveliness of heaven; when we and sin shall have parted company forever!

Oh what an insight!! An old Christian was asked about this warfare and he said that it was like two dogs fighting inside him. So he was asked which one wins the most often and he replied, “the one I feed the most.”

God is 1 billion times better than a YouTube algorithm. I'll just say that. His timing to know what we need and when we need it is beyond immaculate.

"The victory belongs to Jesus. The victory belongs to Him!"

[LAStreetPreacher]

Few preachers today preach against the evils of sin and the nature of sin. Shame on them for not declaring the whole counsel of God on this most important subject for which our Lord Jesus Christ suffered and died.

[gavinadams]

Yes, when we sin now we get smote by Gods chastening, thank God he doesnt leave us to our devices, im sick of sin.

[christophercriss]

This is spot on...I'm saved..but this you call it..never ends..I struggle every single day with sin..addictions..you name it...sometimes I win thru Jesus...sometimes I allow my flesh to win...it scares me to stand befor Jesus the moment this flesh fails...that instant I stand in front of Jesus is a fear I can't shake....

I am so thankful for brother Spurgeon.

[gerryjames]

Lord, please grant us all the faith to truly overcome. Please do this because we are weak and poor and have no hope but that you are with us. Amen.

[LeeAnn-shnt]

Get this right as chosen children, genuine believers IN CHRIST. We are not better than those yet unsaved, unredeemed ones only better off
Because of the measure of saving faith which is only from God Almighty.
Let that privilege seriously keep what belongs to the Saviour a humbled servant.
None of us are deserving. 🎶🙌
Oh God have mercy and sanctify Your sheep.🩸

[euphemiariley]

I'm especially going through this same struggle with sin, the flesh, the world and the devil. But by God's grace I will keep fighting back. Thank you, Charles Spurgeon for the wonderful message.

[gosteronlinecourses]

This narrator really sounds like what I imagine Spurgeon to sound like in my head when I'm reading. Well done - such a great sermon from a wonderful preacher. Thankful to God for men like Spurgeon.

I pray and ask God everyday to help me not to sin against him or grieve the Holy Spirit, Because God is holy

[TheGmandead]

Thanks for acknowledging my struggle. I have no desire to smoke now it's been 2 weeks. But, the nicotine patches I've been using. Pray that I have the same victory over that
